The best email of my life.." have just spoken with the pathologist. The consensus of the group was that there was not a 5 component and the Gleason score remains 7" MSK THANK YOU GOD!!!!...
UPDATE; Appearently my slides.. without informing me,...were also sent to White Plains Hospital. This caused the delay in the first Lab sending my slides to Sloan. However when I phoned WP this...
My gratitude gentlemen. I like the idea of a boast for the specific area and will raise it with the Docs... somehow I'm hoping this is a typo or some type of mistake. The fact that their are "nines"...
I'm thinking another biopsy, this time MRI guided, then have 3 labs review it. Don't know if I can have another biopsy a month after seed implants?...
Thanks..good advice. MSK and Dr. E. need to connect. Don't think I can have the operation after seeds. Will phone him tomorrow....
Thank you. It was a knockdown punch out of no where.. but I'm standing before the 10 count. John Hopkins Vs Sloan.. both well respected and each with a long track record. I have a tool for coping;1-...
The problem is who to believe? The first lab with 3 cores; two "6"s and a 4+3 7, Sloan which said one core of the lesser 3+4=7, or JH at one core of the 9? Thinking a another PSA and biopsy. I would...

A small, but frightening stat.."Dr. Epstein's studies show that 3 out of 200 men have biopsies that show cancer when none is there". I would love to know if the biopsy examples were reviewed by more...
Blessings to each of you. If I was having the operation, I would NOT consider anyone else but Dr. Tewari. He didn't pressure me one bit. That is a sign of a true professional. The Surgeon in...
Thank you. The Doc I mentioned from NYC was indeed Dr. Tewari. He didn't push the operation and noticed the mistake in prostate size. I'm concerned about Dr. Samadi.. he is engaged in much self...
